LATAKIA, Syria - The young man’s heart was sliced from his chest and placed on his body. His name was No. 56 on a handwritten list of 60 dead that included his cousins, neighbors and at least six children from their coastal Syrian village.
The men who killed 25-year-old Suleiman Rashid Saad called his father from the young victim’s phone and dared him to fetch the body. It was next to the barbershop.
“His chest was wide open. They cut out his heart. They put it on top of his chest,” said his father, Rashid Saad. It was late afternoon on March 8 in the village of Al-Rusafa. The killings of Alawites were nowhere near over.
The slaughter of Suleiman Rashid Saad was part of a wave of killings by Sunni fighters in Alawite communities along Syria’s Mediterranean coast from March 7 to 9. The violence came in response to a day-old rebellion organized by former officers loyal to ousted President Bashar al-Assad that left 200 security forces dead, according to the government.
A Reuters investigation has pieced together how the massacres unfolded, identifying a chain of command leading from the attackers directly to men who serve alongside Syria’s new leaders in Damascus. Reuters found nearly 1,500 Syrian Alawites were killed and dozens were missing. The investigation revealed 40 distinct sites of revenge killings, rampages and looting against the religious minority, long associated with the fallen Assad government.
The days of killing exposed the deep polarization in Syria that its new government has yet to overcome, between people who supported Assad, whether tacitly or actively, and those who hoped the rebellion against him would ultimately succeed. Many in Syria resent Alawites, who enjoyed disproportionate influence inside the military and government during Assad’s two-decade rule.

Was this our Al Qaeda friends or our Al Qaeda enemies?
P.S. this is why Israel should never give up the new land it occupied in the South, which contains Druze the Syrian pigs would also love to slaughter. Keep it forever, along with the Golan.
Reuters reporting is horrible
They are often complicit.
Here is the actual video from March 14th.

This is sickening.
Search that page for “heart”
These are not humans doing this, they are Satan’s Beasts. Straight from the pits of Hell.
I have another source that is not web linked with more clear image. Same incident.
The scars of the Syrian civil war - together with an essentially weak central government, which no allies of neighbors want to see raining a big military of its own - has civilians on opposing sides of the civil war continuing attacks on each other.
They are ISIS. And yes some Al Qaeda.
Don’t call them “our”.
They are not human, they are Satan’s Best’s from Hell.
That’s correct.
The Alawis are the tribe of the Assads (Hafez and Bashir). They held down the Sunni majority with a brutality the SS would have admired. I personally saw the remains of the town of Hama a few months after a Muslim Brotherhood uprising there was put down. Unfortunately, their protection of other minorities, Christians, Druze, etc., is gone along with the dynasty.
Many in Syria resent Alawites, who enjoyed disproportionate influence inside the military and government during Assad’s two-decade rule.
Thank you.
I have watched the region closely for many years.
Once had a lot of friends there, some still in contact.
I am no longer on Twitter (X). Was there 15 years.
The leader is OUR Isis man. We and the Israelis installed him. It was a decade long project that they pushed to complete before Trump was sworn in.
Trump lifted the sanctions against him and complemented him.
He’s our boy. CIA, State and Lindsey Graham love him.
Muzzies. Why to we permit them entry into our country?
54 years counting from when Hafez al-Assad took power.
.
Revenge on the al-Assads!
Assad was Alawite and certainly did worse to non-Alawites and Sunni Muslims. Nusayrism is an offshoot of Shia Islam, which is the main religion of Iran. This brutality cannot be tolerated, but it is certainly understood why the current regime is administering ‘payback’ to the Alawites.
These are the people we have let into our country and who the democrats support.
Better than a blue pill for the neocons.
For Linda, it's better than surfing Grindr.
I hope the Assad haters are happy.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and ISIS now rule Syria. Christians, Druze and Alawites are being ruthlessly slaughtered.
Many FReepers actually approve of the slaughter. Assad was a secular leader who protected Christians, Druze and others. Women were also free to lead independent lives without wearing garbage bags and being required to suffer a male guardian. No more.
Gee, thanks Deep State and Israel!
